I'm working on that! I'm already testing it on OS X, but if anyone has access to some other proprietary Unix, eg Solaris or Irix, and has perl built with the proprietary compilers, can you please test Devel::CheckLib for me? Results from VMS would be good too, although providing them will be deemed to be a sign that you're also volunteering to contribute the code to make it work :-) That will be a partial solution, in that it will at least let people check whether a non-perl dependency is installed. I'm going to also have a go at packaging pkg-config as a module. Once that's done, that will hopefully provide a template others can use to bundle other executables and libraries in a CPAN-friendly manner. Why choose pkg-config? Cos there's a module that depends on it. -- David Cantrell | Enforcer, South London Linguistic Massive Computer Science is about lofty design goals and careful algorithmic optimisation.
